    The literature suggests that social support, in general, is linked to positive outcomes among

    correctional staff, but the different types of social support may differ in their effects. Using

    survey data from staff working at a privately-owned,maximum security prison for juveniles

    sentenced as adults, this study analyzes three intra-organizational supports, administra-

    tive, supervisory, and coworker, andone extra-organizational form, family/friends support,

    as antecedents of  job stress,  job involvement,  job satisfaction, and organizational com-

    mitment. Personal variables serve as controls. Administrative and supervisory support are

    inversely related to  job stress, while  job involvement is affected positively by supervi-

    sory support and negatively by family/friends support. All three intra-organizational forms

    of support are significant antecedents of  job satisfaction and organizational commitment

    however family/friends support is not. These findings hold implications for improving job

    outcomes among correctional staff and for future research.

    Prisons are expensive to administer and operate.

    Henrichson and Delaney (2012) report that over 35 billion

    dollars is spent on prisons each year in the United States

    to house 1.4 million adult inmates. Operating prisons is

    labor intensive, with staff being the largest expenditure,

    often accounting for over 75% of a prison’s annual budget

    (Camp & Lambert, 2005). Additionally, staff are a valu-

    able resource, as they are responsible for the multitude of tasks and duties necessary for the operation of a humane,

    secure, and safe prison. In a sense, staff are a prison’s heart

    and soul. In an era of reduced government budgets, inves-

    tigating the factors that may affect correctional staff is

    imperative.

    A growing body of research focuses on prison staff,

    particularly in terms of job stress, job involvement, job

    satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Stressed,

    uninvolved, dissatisfied, and uncommitted staff can bedetrimental to a prison’s operations. On the other hand,

    having relatively unstressed, involved, satisfied, and com-

    mitted staff is a desired outcome. To reach this outcome,

    researchers and administrators need information on the

    factors that help shape the job stress, job involvement,

     job satisfaction, and organizational commitment of prison

    staff.

    Working in a prison differs from working in other

    types of organizations. The prison work environment is

    unique because it involves confining individuals against

    their will—individuals who have been convicted of violat-

    ingcriminallaw. As Armstrong and Griffin (2004) point out,

    “Few other organizations are charged with the central task

    of supervising and securing an unwilling and potentially

    violent population” (p. 577). As the work environment in

    prisons varies from that found in most other organizations,

    the factors which influence job stress, job involvement, job

    satisfaction, and organizational commitment may alsovary

    compared to other organizations. Research needs to iden-

    tify factors that mitigate job stress and contribute to the

    prison staff’s job involvement, job satisfaction, and organi-

    zational commitment.

    The literature suggests that social support is important

    for staff to deal with the unique strains and challenges

    encountered in a prison work environment (Keinan &

    Maslach-Pines, 2007; Whitehead & Lindquist, 1986). Social

    support should help staff deal with strains that would

    otherwise increase job stress and decrease job involve-

    ment, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment.

    There are different types of social support, and the liter-

    ature is limited and unclear about what types of social

    support are linked with job stress, job involvement, job

    satisfaction,and organizationalcommitment amongprison

    staff. This study’s objective is to explore the nature of the

    relationship between administrative support, supervisory

    support, coworker support, and family and friends support

    with job stress, job involvement, job satisfaction, and orga-

    nizational commitment. Expanding knowledge of these

    relationships provides a framework for the future devel-

    opment of research in this area and provides correctional

    administrators with information on how different forms of 

    social support affect prison staff.

    1. Literature review 

    1.1. Job stress

    Accordingto Mattesonand Ivancevich (1987), “thereare

    literallyhundredsof definitions for stress to be found in the

    research and professional literature. Virtually all of them

    can be placed into one of two categories, however: stress

    can be defined as either a stimulus or a response” (p. 10).

    Stressors arenegativestimuli that cause strainfor a person,

    which ultimately can result in stress (Cullen, Link, Wolfe,

    & Frank, 1985). Job stress is psychological strain leading to

    leading to job-related hardness, tension, anxiety, frustra-

    tion, and worry arising from work (Misis, Kim, Cheeseman,

    Hogan, & Lambert, 2013).  Job stress can be harmful over

    time, leading to increased mental withdrawal from the job,

    reduced interactions with clients and coworkers, increased

    conflict with family and friends, absenteeism, substance

    abuse, turnover, burnout, health/medical problems, and

    even premature death (Cheek, 1984; Cheek & Miller, 1983;

    Lambert, Edwards, Camp, & Saylor, 2005a; Matteson &

    Ivancevich, 1987; Mitchell, MacKenzie, Styve, & Gover,

    2000; Slate & Vogel, 1997; Whitehead, 1989; Whitehead

    & Lindquist, 1986; Woodruff, 1993).  Job stress is harm-

    ful to both staff and the prison organization, and its

    antecedents need to be studied. Social support may be one

    such antecedent.

    1.2. Job involvement 

     Job involvement is the level of psychological identifica-

    tion with a job (Kanungo, 1982a,b). As Elloy, Everett, and

    Flynn (1992) note, it refers to a cognitive bond people can

    form with their jobs. Paullay, Alliger, and Stone-Romero

    (1994) point out that job involvement is a psychological

    state wherein an individual “is cognitively preoccupied

    with, engaged in, and concerned with one’s present job”

    (p. 224).DeCarufeland Schaan (1990) notethat“an individ-

    ual with a high degree of job involvement would place the

     job at the center of his/her life’s interests. The well-known

    phrase ‘I live, eat, and breathe my  job’ would describe

    someone whose job involvement is very high” (p. 86). Per-

    sons with low job involvement focus on interests other

    than their work (Hogan, Lambert, & Griffin, 2013). Elloy

    et al. (1992) contend that job involvement is a measure

    worklife’s quality.ChenandChiu(2009)point outthatpeo-

    ple with “high job involvement are more independent and

    self-confident–they not only conduct their work in accor-

    dance with the job duties required by the company but are

    also more likely to do their work in accordance with the

    employees’ perception of their own performance” (p. 478).

    Pfeffer (1994) contends that job involvement translates to

    organizational effectiveness in the long run. Additionally,

     job involvement is linked with reduced turnover intent

    among jail staff (Lambert & Paoline, 2010). There is a need

    to examine possible antecedents of prison staff job involve-

    ment, and social support may be an important antecedent.

    1.3. Job satisfaction

    Locke (1976) defines job satisfaction as “a pleasurable

    or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal

    of one’s job or job experiences” (p. 1300). Weiss (2002)

    contends job satisfaction is the summative positive and

    negativeemotions arising fromthe job. Simply, job satisfac-

    tion is “the extent to which people liketheir jobs” (Spector,

    1996, p. 214). In all these definitions, job satisfaction is

    an affective/emotional response by an employee concern-

    ing his/her particular job and whether the employee likes

    the job. Job satisfaction is a salient and powerful work-

    place concept. Low levels have been found to be associated

    with absenteeism, turnover, and job burnout among cor-

    rectional staff (Byrd, Cochran, Silverman, & Blount, 2000;

    Whitehead & Lindquist, 1986; Wright, 1993). Conversely,

    high levels are related to improved work performance,

    organizationalinnovation,greatercompliance withorgani-

    zational rules, greater support for rehabilitationof inmates,

    and greater life satisfaction among correctional staff (Fox,

    1982; Lambert, 2004; Lambert & Hogan, 2010; Lambert

    et al., 2009; Lambert, Hogan, Paoline, & Baker, 2005b;

    Robinson, Porporino, & Simourd, 1992). Given its signif-

    icance, it is important to explore how different forms of 

    social support may be associated with job satisfaction.

    1.4. Organizational commitment 

    Organizational commitment is the bond between an

    employee and the employing organization (Mowday,

    Porter, & Steers, 1982). Continuance and affective

    commitment are two major forms of commitment, and

    they differ in how the bond is formed (Hogan et al., 2013).

    Continuance commitment refers to a bond that occurs due

    to investments made in the employing organization, such

    as social relationships, pension, salary and benefits, and

    nontransferable job skills (Allen & Meyer, 1990). These

    investmentsbond theperson to theorganization andresult

    in a desire to stay with the organization (Garland, Hogan,

    Kelley, Kim, & Lambert, 2013). With affective commitment,

    a voluntary bond is formed by positive work experiences

    (Allen & Meyer, 1990). The concept encompasses the ele-

    ments of loyalty to theorganization, identification with the

    organization, such as pride in the organization and inter-

    nalization of organizational goals, and involvement in the

    organization, such as personal effort made for the sake

    of the organization (Hogan et al., 2013; Mowday et al.,

    1982). With continuance commitment, a worker bonds

    with the organization because they must do so. With affec-

    tive commitment, a worker bonds with the organization

    because they choose to do so (Meyer & Allen, 1991). Of the

    two, affective commitment tends to have far more salient

    outcomes for both employees and organizations. Further,

    continuance commitment has been found to be associ-

    ated with some negative consequences, as burned out

    employees may feel trapped in the job and view quitting

    as an attractive but untenable option. As such, the current

    study focused on affective commitment, a concept gener-

    ally viewed as a highly desirable outcome (Lambert, Kim,

    Kelley, & Hogan, 2013). Among correctional staff, affective

    commitment has been inversely linked with absenteeism

    and turnover and positively associated with job perfor-

    mance, life satisfaction, and organizational citizenship

    behaviors, which is going beyond what is expected at work

    (Camp, 1994; Culliver, Sigler, & McNeely, 1991; Lambert

    et al., 2005a, 2013; Lambert, Hogan, & Griffin, 2008).

    1.5. Social support 

    Social support refers to a network of connections with

    other human beings that can provide assistance, support,

    andhelpforaperson(Cohen, Underwood, & Gottlieb, 2000;

    Harvey, 2014; Lambert, Altheimer, & Hogan, 2010). A lack

    of social support can lead employees to feel isolated and

    alone at work, exacerbatingthe effects of workplace stress-

    ors (Ileffe & Steed, 2000). In addition, social support can

    provide resources for people to deal more effectively with

    stressors,ultimately reducing job stress (Neveu, 2007). Fur-

    thermore, social support is a valuable resource because it

    provides psychological support, assistance, feedback, and

    motivation for employees (Lambert et al., 2010). Most peo-

    pleare social creatures, and social support can be a positive

    element for employees (Cohen et al., 2000), but its benefits

    extend to both employees and employers. Social support

    systems can allow innovation to occur, which can result

    in quicker solutions to workplace issues, allowing work to

    become more productive and enjoyable. Conversely, a lack

    of socialsupportcan be seen as a form of resource depletion

    for prison workers, detractingfrom positive outcomes from

    work. Social support can be an excellent way to boost self-

    confidence and self-esteem (Lambert et al., 2010). Social

    support can increase the likelihood that a staff member

    will bond with thejob. In addition,the positive experiences

    with support can result in greater satisfaction from the job.

    Based on the social exchangetheory, affectivecommitment

    arises due to positive work experiences that allow individ-

    uals to see the organization in a favorable light (Colquitt

    et al., 2013).

    There is a gap in the literature in terms of which

    forms of social support are potential antecedents of prison

    staff’s job stress, job involvement, job satisfaction, and

    organizational commitment. Social support comes in dif-

    ferent forms (Lee & Ashford, 1996; Whitehead & Lindquist,

    1986). The social support’s major forms are administra-

    tive support, supervisory support, coworker support, and

    family andfriends support. Support fromcoworkers, super-

    visors, and management represents intra-organizational

    social support systems, while support from family and

    friends represents an extra-organizational support system

    (Lambert et al., 2010; Ray & Miller, 1994).

    Administrative support refers to the staff’s percep-

    tion that they are supported by the prison’s manage-

    ment/administration (Garland & McCarty, 2006; Griffin,

    2006). Administrative support can help staff deal with

    stressors and being stressed from work. A lack of admin-

    istrative support can make work difficult and straining.

    Cheek and Miller (1983) contend that a lack of adminis-

    trative social support can lead to staff feeling pressured

    by both management and the inmates, resulting in being

    between the proverbial rock and a hard place. They term

    this situation a “double-bind” of stress for correctional

    staff. Administrative support sends a message to staff that

    they are valued and respected by organization. In addition,

    administrative support can help staff be more successful

    in their jobs, possibility resulting in greater identification

    with the job and satisfaction. Administrative support, or

    a lack thereof, for most staff will represent the organiza-

    tion. Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison, and Sowa (1986)

    report that employees “personify the organization, viewing

    actions by agents of the organization as actions of theorga-

    nization itself” (p. 504). In a sense, administrative support

    reflects the level of commitment an organization has for

    its employees. If staff perceive that theadministration sup-

    ports them, it is easier for them to form a cognitive bond

    with the organization. These postulations have a basis in

    the literature. Administrative support is inversely associ-

    ated with correctional staff job stress (Armstrong & Griffin,

    2004; Auerbach, Quick, & Pegg, 2003; Griffin, 2006). Like-

    wise, administrative support is positively associated with

     job satisfaction and organizational commitment (Lambert

    & Hogan, 2009).

    Supervisory support focuses on staff perceptions of the

    level that their supervisor supports them (Cullen et al.,

    1985). Supervisory support can help remove stressors

    or reduce their negative effects, which should translate

    to lower stress from the job (Brough & Williams, 2007).

    Supervisors can help staff see challenges in a more positive

    light. Lee and Ashford (1996) note that “with the right kind

    of supervisory support, workers may come to perceive

    ambiguous role expectations as opportunities to carry

    out their own initiatives (potential gains) rather than as

    restrictions on their actions (certain losses)” (p. 131). On

    the other hand, a lack of supervisory support can be a

    straining and frustrating experience, which over time can

    lead to job stress (Lambert & Hogan, 2009). Supervisory

    support is important for employees to succeed in their

     jobs. It is a resource which can help staff do their jobs in

    an effective manner. Being productive tends to provide

    people with a sense of pride and accomplishment. In the

    end, prison staff are probably more likely to feel that the

     job is meeting some of their needs and wants, and, as

    such, will view the job in a more favorable light, increasing

    the level of job involvement and satisfaction. Supervisors

    are also seen as the prison organization’s representatives

    (Lambert, 2004). Supervisory support sends a message

    that staff are valued; thus, supervisory support likely

    will increase favorable views of the organization, and, in

    turn, strengthen the bond to it. On the contrary, a lack of 

    supervisory support can be a type of resource withdrawal

    that leads to staff to question the organization, and, in

    the long run, drive a wedge between staff and the prison

    organization. Supervisory support is associated with lower

     job stress and increased job satisfaction and organizational

    commitment of correctional staff (Cullen et al., 1985;

    Grossi, Keil, & Vito, 1996; Lambert, 2004; Lambert &

    Hogan, 2009; Van Voorhis, Cullen, Link, & Wolfe, 1991).

    Coworker support refers to the perceptions of support

    from peers at work (Liaw, Chi, & Chuang, 2010). Coworker

    support can help deal with stressors and facilitate man-

    agement of minor problems quickly before they get out

    of hand (Bakker & Demerouti Schaufeli, 2005). A lack of  

    peer support can be a trying experience in itself, raising

    the degree of frustration encountered at work. Coworker

    support should help reduce job stress among prison staff.

    Support from work peers is also a resource for many peo-

    ple (Lambert et al., 2010). It allows a chance to discuss

    work issues and, at times, to “vent.” Cherniss (1980) points

    out that “when one can discuss work experiences with

    colleagues, those experiences often become more inter-

    esting and meaningful” (p. 120). It provides a place for

    advice and social companionship, as well as a support sys-

    tem (Whitehead & Lindquist, 1986). In the end, coworker

    support can make thejob enrichingand enjoyable, increas-

    ing the level of job involvement and job satisfaction for

    staff. A lack of support for coworkers could lead to less

    identification with the job, as well as having unmet needs

    from the job. Positive experiences from coworker support

    may spillover and allow staff to seethe prison organization

    in a more positive light, promoting greater attachment to

    the organization. Having positive relations with coworkers

    is associated with increased satisfaction and lowered job

    stress among jail staff (Paoline, Lambert, & Hogan, 2006),

    and lower job stress among Australian prison staff (Dollard

    & Winefield, 1998).

    Family and friends social support deals with the per-

    ception by staff that their non-work significant others

    care and help them with work matters (Lambert et al.,

    2010). Family and friends are the primary social support

    for people outside the workplace (Adams, King, & King,

    1996). This form of support can help individuals deal

    with work problems (Kurtz, 2008). Working in a prison

    can be a trying experience (Armstrong & Griffin, 2004).

    Having support at home may help reduce stress from

    work. This form of support may also provide a safe haven

    for staff to escape the trying work experiences, even if it is

    a temporary respite, and, in turn, may help alleviate stress

    from the job. In addition, having support from family and

    friends for working in a prison may give a person a sense

    of pride, allowing them to have a greater bond with the job

    and the organization. In addition, having positive social

    support from family and friends concerning the job may

    result in positive feelings about their lives and their jobs,

    spilling over to raise job satisfaction levels (Kwok, Cheng,

    & Wong, 2014). Finally, family and friends support can

    allow prison staff to lead a more balanced life, which, in

    the end could result in general positive feelings that help

    raise the levels of job involvement, job satisfaction, and

    affective commitment (Cordes & Dougherty, 1993).

    1.6. Research focus

    While limited research exists on the effects of the dif-

    ferent forms of social support on correctional staff, gaps

    remain to be addressed. First, there has not been sufficient

    research to date to uphold derive firm conclusions. Sec-ond, there has been far more research on the effects of 

    supervisory support than there has been for administra-

    tion, coworker,and friends and family support. There needs

    to be more research on all four forms of social support

    among prison staff in order to understand the role social

    support plays. Third, no published study has examined the

    relationships of the four forms of support with job stress,

     job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational com-

    mitment among prison staff in the same study. As a result,

    theknowledge about theeffects of socialsupport in limited

    and fragmentary. For example, one form of support may

    be more important in shaping a particular outcome area

    among prison staff than the other forms of support. Thisstudy’s purpose is to address these gaps in knowledge.

    2. Method

     2.1. Participants

    All the available staff at a private Midwestern prison for

     juvenile offenders were provided a survey packet, which

    contained a cover letter, survey, and return envelope. The

    cover letter explained the study’s purpose, that participa-

    tion was voluntary, how to participate in the study, how to

    returnthe surveys,and stressedthatall responseswould be

    anonymous and would be kept confidential. At the time of the survey, there were 220 employees assigned to work at

    the prison, but due to leave, such as sick leave and admin-

    istrative leave, only 200 were available to be provided the

    survey packet. A total of 160 usable surveys were returned,

    which represents a response rate of 80% of those given the

    packet and 72.7% of those who worked at the prison1. The

    1 The survey measured a wide array of workplace perceptions, views,

    attitudes, intentions, and behaviors of employees. Because of the wealth

    of information from the survey, other studies have been conducted using

    differentparts of the survey. The full citations of thesestudiesare available

    upon request. None of these previous studies examined the impact of the

    fourforms of social support on jobstress,job involvement,job satisfaction,and organizational commitment together.

    prison housed approximately 450 juvenile offenders under

    the age of 20 who were juveniles sentenced in adult court.

    The prison was a high security closed facility.

    Employees came from all positions except administra-

    tion. Demographic characteristic of the respondents are

    listed in Table 1. Institutional records indicate that, at

    the time of the survey, the demographic breakdown of 

    the prison’s staff was approximately 81% White and 61%

    male; the staff’s median age was about 35, the median

    tenure was about 20.64 months, and about two-thirds of 

    theemployees held a custody position.As such, therespon-

    dents appear to be demographically representative of the

    staff at the private correctional facility.

     2.2. Variables

     2.2.1. Dependent variables

    The dependent variables are additive indexes mea-

    suring job stress, job involvement, job satisfaction, and

    organizational commitment. All the items were answered

    using a five-point Likert response scale ranging from

    strongly disagree (coded 1) to strongly agree (coded 5).

    The responses to the items were summed together to form

    indexes, and Cronbach’s alpha values were calculated and

    are listed in Table 1. The job stress index comprises five

    items from Crank, Regoli, Hewitt, and Culbertson (1995).

    For example, two job stress items are “I am usually under a

    lot of pressure when I am at work” and “When I’m at work

    I often feel tense or uptight.” The job involvement index

    comprises three items adapted from Kanungo (1982a,b).

    For example, two job involvement items are “I live, eat,

    and breathe my job” and “The most important things that

    happento me inmy life occur at work.” Five items, adapted

    from Brayfield and Rothe (1951), are used to measure job

    satisfaction. For example, two job satisfaction items are “I

    like my job better than the average worker does” and “Most

    days I am enthusiastic about my job.” The affective orga-

    nizational commitment index comprises six items from

    Mowdayet al.(1982). For example,two commitment items

    are “I feel very little loyalty to this prison” (reverse coded)

    and “I find that my values and the prison’s values are very

    similar.”

     2.2.2. Independent variables

    Fourtypes of support are measured:administrative sup-

    port, supervisory support, coworker support, and family

    and friends support. The support items were answered

    using a Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (coded

    1) to strongly agree (coded 5), and the responses to the

    items were summed together to form indexes. See Table 1

    for Cronbach’s alpha values. The administrative support

    index comprises two items. For example, one item is “For

    the most part, management at this prison supports its

    workers.”The index for supervisory support comprisesfour

    items. For example, three supervisory support items are

    “Supervisors at this prison are supportive of employees,”

    “At this facility, supervisors often criticize employees over

    minor things” (reverse coded), and “My supervisor looks

    out for my personal welfare.” The coworker support index

    comprises six items. For example, three of the items are

    “I am able to discuss problems with my coworkers,” “My

    coworkers provide me support in solving personal prob-

    lems”, and “The people I work with are friendly.” An index

    for support for family and friends comprises two items. For

    example, one item is “When my job gets me down, I know

    that I can turn to family and friends for support.” Finally,

    the personal characteristics of gender, age, tenure, posi-

    tion, educational level, race, and supervisory status were

    included in the study more as control than explanatory

    variables. See Table1 for how these personalcharacteristics

    are coded.

    3. Results

    The descriptive statistics for the variables in this study

    are presented in Table 1. There appears to be significant

    variationin both the dependent and independent variables.

    None of the variables are constants. The median and mean

    are similar to one another for the variables, suggesting

    that the variables were normally distributed. Cronbach’s

    alpha, a measure of internal reliability, was above .70 for all

    the indexes, which indicates acceptable internal reliability

    (Gronlund, 1981). The items used to measure job stress, job

    involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commit-

    mentwere enteredintoan exploratory factor analysisusing

    generalized least squares method with an equamax rota-

    tion. The items for each latent concept loaded upon same

    factorwithfactor loading scoresof .41or higher, andmostly

    .50 or higher. For example, thethreejob involvement items

    loaded on a single factor with factor loading scores of .61,

    .84, and .83. The four factors explained approximately 64%

    of the variance of the items. Similarly the 14 social sup-

    port items were entered into an exploratory factor analysis

    using generalized least squares with an equamax rotation.

    Four factors explained for about 55% of the variance. The

    items for each latent concept load upon same factor with

    factor loading scores of .41 or higher, and mostly .50 or

    higher. For example, the two administrative support items

    loaded on one factor, with .67 and .61 factor loading scores.

    The Pearson’s correlation coefficient results are pre-

    sented in Table 2. Tenure, administrative support, super-

    visory support, and coworker support have statistically

    significant correlations with job stress. Increases in tenure

    are associated with higher levels of stress from the job.

    Conversely, increases in administrative, supervisory, and

    coworker support are related to lower reported stress from

    the job. Gender, age, position, educational level, race, and

    family and friends support each have non-significant cor-

    relations with job stress.

    Position, supervisory status, administrative support,

    supervisory support, and coworker support have sig-

    nificant correlations with job involvement. Correctional

    officers report, on average, lower levels of involvement

    with thejob as compared to non-custody staff. Supervisors,

    in general, report higher job involvement than their non-

    supervisory counterparts. Administrative, supervisory, and

    coworker support have positive correlations, which means

    an increase in each type of social support is linked with

    a rise in job involvement. Gender, age, tenure, educa-

    tional level, race, and family and friends support have

    non-significant correlations.

    Age, position, educational level, supervisory status,

    administrativesupport,supervisory support, and coworker

    support have significant correlations with job satisfaction.

    Older workers tend to report higher job satisfaction than

    younger workers. Correctional officers tend to report lower

    levels of job satisfaction compared to non-custody staff.

    More highly educated and supervisory staff report higher

    levels of job satisfaction compared to their less educated

    and non-supervisory coworkers. Administrative support,

    supervisory support, and coworker support have positive

    correlations with job satisfaction, meaning an increase in

    each type of social support is linked with a rise in job satis-

    faction. Allthe other variables, includingfamily and friends

    support, have non-significant correlations with job satis-

    faction.

    Age, position, supervisory status, administrative sup-

    port, supervisory support, coworker support, and family

    and friends support have positive correlations with

    commitment. Correctional officers, in general, report

    lower commitment than their non-custody counterparts.

    Supervisors on average have higher levels of affectivecom-

    mitment than non-supervisory staff. Increases in age and

    the four forms of support are associated with greater levels

    of commitment to the organization.

    Along with the personal characteristics, the social sup-

    port variables were entered as independent variables into

    Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressionequations with job

    stress, job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational

    commitment as the dependent variables. The results for

    the four OLS regression equations are presented in Table 3.

    While not reported, the tolerance and variance inflation

    factor statistics indicate no problem of multicollinearity

    among the independent variables. High multicollinearity

    occurs when an independent variable shares a very large

    part of its variance with the other independent variables in

    the regression equation, and this impedes the estimation

    of the effects of the affected independent variables on the

    dependent variable (Berry, 1993).

    For the job stress equation, the R-Squared statistic is

    .35, which means that the independent variables explained

    about 35% of the variance observed in the job stress vari-

    able. Administrative support and supervisory support have

    significant relationships with job stress, and direction of 

    the relationship is negative for both. In other words, an

    increase in either form of support is associated with lower

    reported stress from the job. The regression coefficients

    in the columns in Table 3 estimates the magnitude of the effect of an independent variable on the dependent

    variable. For the job stress equation, supervisory sup-

    port has the greatest effect, followed by administrative

    support.

    About 31% of the variance in the job involvement

    variable is accounted for by the independent variables.

    Age, position, supervisory support, and family and friends

    support each have significant relationships with job

    involvement. Correctional officers generally report lower

     job involvement. Increases in age and support from fam-

    ily and friends are linked to lower reported involvement

    in the job, while greater supervisory support is linked

    to higher involvement. Among the significant variables,

    supervisory support has the largest sized effect, followed

    closely by age, position, and family and friends sup-

    port.

    Approximately 42% of the variance in the job sat-

    isfaction index is accounted for in the OLS regression

    equation.Administrative support, supervisory support,and

    coworker support have significant associations with the

    dependent variable, and the direction of the relation-

    ship for each is positive. Among the significant variables,

    supervisory support has the largest effect, followed by

    administrative support and then coworker support.

    Approximately 54% of the observedvariancein the orga-

    nizational commitment variable is accounted for in the

    multivariateequation. Administrativesupport, supervisory

    support, and coworker support have a significant posi-

    tive relationship with commitment to the organization.

    4. Discussion and conclusion

    As suggested by limited past research (Keinan &

    Maslach-Pines, 2007; Lambert & Hogan, 2009; Whitehead

    & Lindquist, 1986), data from this study indicate that

    perceived social support is an important antecedent of 

    such favorable outcomes among correctional staff; how-

    ever, the extent to which different types of social support

    are related to the outcomes of job stress, job involvement,

     job satisfaction, and organizational commitment–variables

    known to be integral to agency operations and effective-

    nessin corrections–was unknown until this study (Lambert

    et al., 2005a, 2008; Pfeffer, 1994; Wright, 1993). Correc-

    tional administrators seeking to improve these outcomes

    among staff can exercise more direct control over some

    forms of support, such as administrative and supervisory,

    than other forms, such as coworkers and family/friends.

    The existing literature is unclear about how administra-

    tive, coworker, and family/friends support relates to job

    outcomes; most past research has concentrated on super-

    visory support. Finally, previous research on social support

    hasbeen fragmentary, in that no singlestudy hasexamined

    the construct in relationship to job stress, job involve-

    ment, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. In

    short,knowledgeis very limited about whichtypes of social

    support influence which job outcomes among correctional

    staff.

    Findings from the present study shed light on these

    issues. First, social support is far more important in shap-

    ingthe four job outcomes than thepersonal characteristics.

    This is consistent with what research on correctional

    staff has generally established about the importance of 

    work environment factors relative to personal factors with

    regards to job attitudes and behaviors (Matz, Wells, Minor,

    & Angel, 2013; Minor, Wells, Lambert, & Keller, 2014). Only

    two of the personal variables studied here are significantly

    related to a single job outcome, job involvement. Older

    employees and those in correctional officer positions dis-

    played lower job involvement. A plausible interpretation

    of the age effect is that older correctional staff may be

    more likely than younger ones to have developed capac-

    ity to keep work in perspective relative to other priorities,

    to have devised routines and strategies for getting work

    done efficiently, and also to have developed alternative

    interests and avenues of psychological identification and

    for deriving life satisfaction, such as activities of their chil-

    dren, hobbies, and so forth. By contrast, younger staff who

    are newer to the world of full-time work may experience

    their jobs, at least initially, as more engulfing. They may

    alsobe relatively more dependent than their oldercounter-

    parts on their jobs for money due to having had less time

    to establish savings, and some might see engrossment in

    work as a pathway to loftier career ambitions. Compared

    with other jobs in prison, correctional officer work is usu-

    ally more regimented with clearly demarcated times for

    starting and ending shifts; thus, correctional officers could

    be more likely to see their work as an occupation instead

    of a profession, and this could help account for the lower

     job involvement among correctional officers found in this

    study. These, of course, are an untested postulations.

     Job involvement’s other two significant correlates are

    supervisory support and family support. Staff members

    who feel their supervisor supports them are likely to iden-

    tify more closely with their jobs and are less likely to feel

    alienated than those who feel unsupported; these staff are

    probably more likely to experience motivation to become

    immersed in their work. Research indicates that a moti-

    vating work climate, which is something that a supportive

    supervisor can inspire, promotes job involvement (Brown

    & Leigh, 1996).

    By contrast, the data from this study show an inverse

    relationship between support from family/friends and job

    involvement. People who experience less support from

    their family and friends may gravitate more closely toward

    identifying with their jobs. Additionally, Lambert (2008)

    indicates that greater levels of job involvement are linked

    to a greater probability of work-induced family conflict

    among correctional staff. That is, staff who feel overloaded

    by the job role experience greater work-on-family conflict

    (Lambert, Minor, Wells, Lambert, & Hogan, 2015). Social

    support from familyand friends could function as a double-

    edged sword with respect to job involvement. On the one

    hand, such support could help the employee maintain a

    proper perspective on work, causing the employee to bal-

    ance work with other life domains and refrain from an

    unhealthy obsession with his/her job. On the other hand,

    relations with family and friends could lead the employee

    to become overly distracted from work responsibilities by

    outside interests and commitments (Hogan et al., 2013).

    Further research is needed to improve understanding of 

    the relationship between family/friends support and job

    involvement.

    Consistent with past research (Brough & Williams,

    2007; Cheek & Miller, 1983; Cullen et al., 1985; Griffin,

    2006; Keinan & Maslach-Pines, 2007), correctional staff 

    in the present study who feel more supported by their

    administrationand supervisors report lower job stress than

    those whoperceive less support from these sources. As line

    staff members’ bureaucratic superiors, administrators and

    supervisors wield considerable power and influence, and

    feeling that these persons are unsupportive can make the

     job more stressful for staff. A lack of support from adminis-

    trators and supervisors is likely to make staff feel devalued

    and vulnerable, to exacerbate workplace stressors, and to

    deprivestaff of a valuableresourcefor coping withstressors

    (Ileffe & Steed, 2000; Lambert et al., 2010; Neveu, 2007).

    Similarly, this study’s findings show that higher lev-

    els of social support from administrators, supervisors, and

    coworkers were significant antecedents of both job satis-

    faction and organizational commitment. These results are

    consistent with exchange theory principles (Colquitt et al.,

    2013) as well as with findings from past studies (Lambert &

    Hogan, 2009; Paoline et al., 2006). Feeling supported on the

     job by bureaucraticsuperiors and peers can lead employees

    to reciprocate by liking their jobs and developing loyalty

    and solidarity with the organization. By contrast, perceiv-

    ing these groups as non-supportive probably renders the

     job unsatisfying and impairs bonding to the organization.

    Thefindings of thepresentstudyare consistent with the

    conclusion that administrative, supervisory, and coworker

    support operate in tandem, with supervisory support

    exerting the strongest and most consistent effects across

    the four outcomes studied, followed by administrative

    support, which is related to all outcomes except job

    involvement, and finally support of coworkers, which is

    related to job satisfaction and organizational commitment

    only. As an extra-organizational source of social support

    (Lambert et al., 2010; Ray & Miller, 1994), family/friends

    support is not significantly related with the outcomes of 

     job stress, job satisfaction, or organizational commitment;

    it is only related to job involvement. This pattern of find-

    ings underscores the importance of differentiating forms of 

    social support and examining these forms simultaneously,

    as not all types relate to the same job outcomes.

    Moreover, it seems that intra-organizational sources

    of support can be differentiated according to the posi-

    tion of the parties providing, or not providing, support

    to a staff member. Such differentiation can be conceptu-

    alized as having vertical and lateral dimensions. On the

    vertical dimension is support coming from those in the

    organization positioned above the staff member, includ-

    ing supervisors and higher level administrators, as well

    as those positioned below the staff member. The lateral

    dimension involves support from peer workers. Because

    parties positioned above a staff member can be a pressing

    source of job demands, such as daily expectations, mon-

    itoring and evaluation of performance, and so forth, and

    also a resource for coping with job strains, it makes sense

    that low levels of perceived support from administrators

    and supervisors might promote more job stress than a lack

    of lateral support from coworkers. Similarly, support com-

    ing from immediately above an employee in the vertical

    chain in terms of supervisory support would logically have

    a greater likelihood of leading to high job involvement

    than support coming from higher, further removed levels

    in terms of administrative support, or support from lateral

    levels in terms of coworker support. Also, the present find-

    ings suggest that both the vertical and lateral dimensions

    of intra-organizational support are important for fostering

    a liking for the job and commitment to the organization

    among correctional staff. Although the supervisor variable

    is notsignificantly related to theoutcomes examinedin this

    study is indicated in Table 3, f uture research should attend

    to how perceived support from subordinates is related to

    these and other job outcomes.

    The current study has limitations. This was a single

    study of staff at a private prison. The vast majority of pris-

    onsin theU.S. arepublic facilities (Lambert & Hogan,2009).

    Results could differ among staff at a public prison. More-

    over, the private prison held juveniles sentenced as adults,

    which is a uniqueinmatepopulation notfoundat many pri-

    vate or even public prisons. Dealing with juvenile offenders

    is a differentfocusthan dealing with adult offenders. Treat-

    ment was a major focus at this private prison as state law

    requires educational services be provided to all inmates

    under 18 years of age. The unique inmate population

    and treatment efforts could have affected the associations

    between the different forms of social support and the out-

    come areas of job stress, job involvement, job satisfaction,

    and organizational commitment. Research at other prisons

    and types of correctional facilities, such as jails, public pris-

    ons, adult facilities, and so forth, is needed to determine

    whether the findings can be replicated. With replication,

    the effects of different forms of social support on prison

    staff can be understood more fully. Additionally, it remains

    to be determined if effects are contextual and situational,

    varying across different types of correctional facilities. The

    current study uses a cross-sectional design of collectingthe

    data at one point in time, which precludes demonstrat-

    ing causal relationships. Longitudinal designs are needed

    to demonstrate the casual process of the effects of dif-

    ferent forms of social support on prison staff job stress,

     job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational com-

    mitment. Future researchers should consider using more

    in-depth measures of job involvement, administrative sup-

    port, and family support, which were measured in this

    study with either 2 or 3 items. Future research should

    examine theeffectsof other forms of socialsupport, such as

    subordinate support as mentioned above. Another type of 

    social support not examined here was community support

    (Gerstein, Topp, & Correll, 1987).

    Research is needed to determine the best ways to

    build social support among staff. For example, future

    studies could examine whether teamwork and integra-

    tion help build social support, or whether social support

    plays a role in other outcome areas, such as work per-

    formance or turnover/turnover intent. Additional studies

    are needed to generate a more complete understanding of 

    the antecedents and effects of social support among prison

    staff.

    Two decades ago, Cullen (1994) urged that the concept

    of social support be construed as an organizing concept

    for the field of criminology. He saw social support as a

    theme common to various theories of criminal behavior

    and viewed it as a means of helping unify the field. Cullen’s

    argument is that a lack of social support is criminogenic.

    The present study builds on a limited body of past research

    to demonstrate that social support in its various forms is

    integral to understanding not only criminal action, but also

    pertinent job outcomes among people working in prisons.

    The findings presented here suggest that low levels of sup-

    port are also associated with undesirable outcomes among

    correctional staff. There is a kind of vicious cycle here,

    in that staff who feel unsupported and experience high

     job stress, low job involvement, low job satisfaction, and

    low organizational commitment seem unlikely to provide

    much support to the offenders in their charge. In this man-

    ner, lowsupport could beget lowsupport, which, following

    Cullen’s logic, might decrease the chances of successful

    reentry of ex-offenders into the community.

    The results of this study imply that correctional poli-

    cymakers and leaders can promote better job outcomes

    among their staff and improved effectiveness of their orga-

    nizations by directly providingadministrative and supervi-

    sory support to staff and also by making efforts to encour-

    age peer coworkers to support one another. Such support

    can be instrumental/goal oriented or expressive/affective

    in nature, delivered by individuals or groups, and delivered

    through either formal or informal channels (Cullen, 1994).

    Likewise, the findings of this study imply giving the
